Here's some good glass for the 6.8
Ideas for a solid 6.8 SPC round for deer & hog

I have never used any Vortex glass myself, but my brother had a Diamondback mounted on a 260 and couldnt get it to hold zero. He missed several deer with it. Switched glass and dropped the next deer he shot at.
I've heard good things about the redfield accu range scopes, very similar to and made by the leupold folks.
I had a new redfield 4x12x40 and it was rock solid. Doesnt hurt that they are now made by Leupold
I'm even debating the 2-7 x revolution.
I don't need a 50 mm objective.

I forgot about Fusion. It's a great round. I've used it will good luck and it's usually a little easier to find.
I handload using Barnes TTSX 110gr. with 28.5 gr of AA2230. Very accurate and very lethal. I've shot deer and hogs with excellent results. I have a similar handload using Nosler 110gr Accubond with 28gr AA2230. Excellent accuracy. I haven't hunted with them but Accubond bullets have a great reputation.
Good to know this. Thanks. I have been buying Nikon but have been tempted by the prices on the Vortex scopes. Perhaps I'll just stick with Nikon.
I have a 3x9 Nikon on my 300 BO and it is a solid scope. I have heard decent feedback on upper end Vortex stuff, but if it were me, Id steer clear from crossfire and diamondback glass. If i had to choose between diamondback and Nikon, Nikon gets the nod 10 times out of 10. Just my opinion.
I am not set up to load 6.8 as of yet, but i greatly appreciate your input and load data.
